I Stand Alone

the butcher is a very complicated character, he’s a very insufferable person with little to no qualifying characteristics. his imagination is very wild and he makes up violent scenarios of what he would’ve done, viewing himself as the “bigger person”. in reality, at the end of the day, he’s either feeling some sort of remorse for his impulsive actions or easily shunned away from the situation escalating.  gaspar puts the audience through a difficult experience after following the butcher for more than 10 minutes. the visuals and cinematography intensify the experience of the butcher as they show his opinions through fast paced sequences.
